Hi There

When I am in Vegas I would really love to hire a stretch limo and cruise around (with other people from my tour), has anyone else done this? Would it be worth organizing?

Also which clubs/bars do people recommend? Any must do things?

I am doing the GS and the GN so I will be lucky enough to get to see Vegas twice so looking for some cool ideas to fill up my time there.

Hiya Tazzie (again... ha ha).
My suggestion is Rum Jungle in Mandalay Bay casino...that was UNREAL !!! there were trapez girls swinging from the ceiling, the entrance had fire all round it, there were water falls, and the dancers were fantastic ! they were up in cages above all the tables. Also there was this mad dance off between the people clubbing. We all thought there was a fight in the club and when we got closer there was this great dance off going on.... us Aussies all just stared... ! it was like something off a music video ! amazing....African Americans can sure shake their booties... ha ! Next time i go i would really like to go to the Palms where the Playboy night club is. There is that many nightclubs in the casinos that i reckon no matter where you went you would have a blast. just so different to Australia ! more fun !! (hope that doesnt sound bad... )

well the tour i just came off we all got stretch hummers in vegas. it was really good fun but it was far too hot, it was almost unbearable. however later on in the evening we had to switch over to the party bus and that was immense!! i would recommend the party bus it was so much fun and it wasnt as hot! in the limo everyone was complainin of bein too hot but there was more space on the party bus and we had more fun on that. hope this has been helpful

hey mel

Thanks for the advice!! I really want to go to the Palms and check out the playboy club, moon and ghostbar as well! They all seem cool!!
I am so glad we go there twice so maybe I will get the chance to see those clubs and Rum Jungle!

Thanks xgemzx
That sounds cool. What company did you guys use? Did you book it before you got to Vegas?

Playboy CLub/Moon/Ghostbar are AMAZING!!! advice- find a promoter online, make sure there are girls coming with you to the club and ask them to comp you. If you have a large group thats mostly girls they will comp your whole group. I just went out there and did this , and managed to get 7 people in for free ( cover was $40 USD that night). Most of the promoters have myspace pages and are really easy to find.

The view at Voodoo is amazing and is sooo worth it. They have this one drink that smokes.. its pretty cool.

Body English at Hard Rock is also lots of fun.

Vegas is my favorite place in the whole wide world. I could talk about it for hours and hours. If you want more info message me and ill be happy to provide my knowledge about this amazing city!!!

Hey Princesss19

Well I am girl myself and at the moment there seems to be more girls than guys signing up to our tour so hopefully there will be a nice sized group of girls altogether.

Thanks for the advice! Thats a great idea. I will see if I can track down some promoters!!

The smoking drink sounds really cool!!

I cant wait to get to Vegas I am really excited to see it!!

Hi
We hired a stretch hummer at a cost of $400 for 2 hours.We fit 20 people in it which was a bit of a stretch(so to speak).To be honest I thought it was a waiste of time as u cant see out the windows as they are tinted nor can u hang out of the roof for safety reasons.Save our money and buy a yardglass of margarita for the same price($20)-much more fun!

Tazzie- if you cant find any promoters let me know. I still have some of the numbers/myspace pages and can email them to you if you want =)

When are you going to Vegas?

Studio54 at the MGM Grand is supposed to be good. I think the limo would be fun, but a waste of money.

Hey Princess19

That would be great if you could let me know some promoters. If you could private msg them to me on here that would be awesome
I will be there twice next year in summer when I do the Grand Southern and Grand Norther Tours

Thanks cdm115 for the advice Smiler

Eight of us were looking for a cab outside the Wynn casino on a Sunday night - we wanted to go out to the Las Vegas sign to take some snaps. We saw a stretch limo and asked the valet how much it was to hire.

$80 to take us around for an undisclosed amount of time - the tips were what controlled the length. So it was $10 each...then he said for an extra $20 total we could have the bar (about 18 beers and a bottle of vodka, plus Red Bulls) - we tipped him about $5 each so for $20 each ($160 total) we had a great hour or so and the driver was more than happy to take us wherever we wanted to finish up...which was the Hooters casino, if I recall.

Just ask a valet how much it's gonna be - booking through companies will no doubt have additional charges.
